Utah Valley Moms is a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for UCM’s time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided UCM with complimentary tickets to Feld shows and opportunities to attend private Feld pre-Show events.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to watch the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. I was disappointed there was no Animal Open House because of the construction going on in Downtown Salt Lake City, but there was still a pre-show that is open to all ticket holders which was fun. We were able to be up close and personal with some of the performers and a few of the animals.

I’d really like to explain everything in great detail about what happened at the circus, but I think I’ll allow you to just enjoy the photos with a few captions.

By the way, the circus is still in town tonight so don’t miss out! You can still get tickets if you hurry fast!

Every circus needs silly clowns.

Okay, see, doesn’t that look fun? Our kids loved it and we have young kids. They were entertained the entire time and what I loved about this circus was that something was continually happening on one part of the stage while it was dark and they were setting up things on the other side of the stage. For example, I was so enthralled with the man hanging upside down way above the ground that I didn’t even see them set up the whole tigers thing.

The animals looked like they were well taken care of and treated well. There is also a preshow about an hour before the circus begins where all ticket holders can go down to the stage and interact with the performers and see some animals up close. I would highly suggest going!
